Caroline Joanne Shepherd: Bright Owls Childminding

My name is Caroline and I am an Ofsted graded 'Good' childminder based in Heaton Chapel, Stockport.  I have two lovely boys and I work together with my husband which is great for the children as we have a family based setting. The kids love him!

Having previously worked full-time ourselves and used various childminders, we are very aware of the level of care parents expect and feel that this gives us a solid grounding on how we want to run our setting. As well as having completed the childminding course, I have also completed a PGCE primary, the training for which has given me a great insight into how children learn and also how children progress through the EYFS and up into Key Stage 1.

We have a playroom dedicated to childminding which is equipped with all sorts of things for your children to interact with.

We also have a large garden so there is plenty of room for outdoor activities.

We are located just off the A6 about 10 mins walk from Heaton Chapel train station.
